摘要：Newtonferry is situated on the north-east coast of North Uist. The coastline in this area is rocky except for the sand filled meandering inlet, Port nan Long, which lies between two low hills, Suenish and Beinna. Chaolais (Figure 72). Beveridge (1911, 91) wrote that .Port nan Long., meaning .Harbour of the ships., derives from the local tradition that ships of the Spanish Armada were wrecked here and stated that these could still be seen at very low tides in the shallow water between Port nan Long and Berneray.
